JEE PYQ: Ray Optics Question 31

Question 31 - 2020 (09 Jan Shift 1)

A vessel of depth 2h is half filled with a liquid of refractive index $2\sqrt{2}$ and the upper half with another liquid of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$. The liquids are immiscible. The apparent depth of the inner surface of the bottom of vessel will be:

(1) $\frac{h}{\sqrt{2}}$

(2) $\frac{h}{2(\sqrt{2} + 1)}$

(3) $\frac{h}{3\sqrt{2}}$

(4) $\frac{3}{4}h\sqrt{2}$

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution

Apparent depth, $D = \frac{t_1}{\mu_1} + \frac{t_2}{\mu_2} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{h}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3h}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3h\sqrt{2}}{4}$
